Hi, sorry for my bad English.
youtube-dl fail with this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoGiCSCoPC4

I would like to download all video from a user, so I use this command : "youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/user/languedepub2/videos"

For this report, I use this command line :
"youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoGiCSCoPC4 --verbose"

And the result is :
"[debug] System config: []

[debug] Command-line args: ['https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoGiCSCoPC4', '--verbose']

Sorry, I have a brewed version.
Now I use youtube-dl version 2013.11.09 and the problem isn't solved :/ (on the same video).

Thanks for the report, I have the same problem the first time I tested it, but then it fails a bit later with this message

ERROR: content too short (expected 64293817 bytes and served 8389300)

It may be a Youtube error, I can download the video in other formats without problems, like youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoGiCSCoPC4' -f 22, use youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoGiCSCoPC4' -F to see the available subtitles.
